Arts in Education (AIE) grants invest in partnerships between schools, community organizations, and teaching artists. These partnerships support arts learning as an essential part of basic education for pre-school and K-12 students. AIE grants support curriculum development, arts learning projects, professional learning for educators, efforts to increase access, and more.
